This is reported by local rescue services and representatives of the city authorities. Since the morning of June 23, fire and rescue units have removed the body of another deceased person from under the rubble on the territory of the destroyed multi-storey building, thus the number of victims of this tragic incident now stands at five. This was officially reported by the head of the Kramatorsk city military administration, Oleksandr Goncharenko, on his Facebook page. According to him, rescuers worked hard all night, unblocking the body of the fifth deceased person from under the rubble of destruction. "Rescuers from the liquidation of the consequences of Russian terror in Kramatorsk have removed the body of the fifth victim from under the rubble," said Goncharenko. "This once again confirms the scale of the destruction and the human tragedies caused by this senseless and cruel shelling." Recall that the tragedy occurred on the evening of June 21, when Russian forces launched a missile strike on a multi-story residential building in the city center. As a result of the attack, part of the building began to collapse, forming deadly rubble. Details of this tragedy began to emerge in the following hours: on June 22, it was reported that four residents had died, and four more were injured. This incident once again testified to the full scale of the destruction and human losses caused by the Russian military in the region. Silence and light do not powerfully reflect the destruction that continues mercilessly, while we remain in deep mourning. Local residents and authorities continue to call for a quick end to the war and a clear response from the international community to this human tragedy.
